This project explores if various nature based activities can lead to acute improvements in emotional, physical and cognitive health outcomes and encouraging senior center (JABA) service users to return to a safe environment. The activities the investigators will use include walking in nature, engaging in physical planting and cerebral, citizen science based activities.
This study builds on the previous experimental work and expands it to focus on older adults in the Charlottesville area. The study objective is to understand the impact of different types of activities in green settings on physical and mental health outcomes in older adults at JABA centers using a repeated measures, crossover design in 20 participants.
There are three activity sessions in this project; walking (contemplative), planting (physical) and citizen science (cerebral). The walking condition will be a short green walk (10-15 minutes). The planting session will be run by JABA staff and a Master Gardener and will allow participants an opportunity to be outdoors and plant and tend to plants. The citizen science session will be run by JABA staff and a consultant and will rely less on physical exertion but rather focus on understanding green space at a more academic level. All sessions will be outdoors and will follow COVID-19 guidelines in place at the time of testing.
Outcome Measures The investigators will use various measures to assess the impact of green activity on emotional, physical and cognitive health outcomes, including;
All outcome measures will be scored and subsequently analysed using a one-way ANOVA to determine if experimental condition leads to any statistically significant difference between outcome scores. The investigators will look for correlations between outcome measures in order to establish relationships between variables.
The investigators will also send a short survey to a number of JABA service users (n=30) to understand mood, wellbeing and current barriers to returning to their local JABA center. This survey will include the UCLA Loneliness Scale, the GBS, mood and physical activity measures included above, as well as broader questions assessing their experience of the lockdown and their needs for safe return to the center.
Participants will be sent consent information in advance and have an opportunity to talk to the research time prior to attending their first session. For all conditions, participants would meet at a pre-determined location near their local JABA center and taken to the activity site directly. Participants will complete the short surveys, listed above, both pre and post their activity. All activities will last around 20 minutes. Participants will return for two consecutive weeks to undertake the alternative activities to which they originally completed.
Activities Participants will undertake three activities, on separate days, throughout this project.

Study was a pilot, using small samples without comparison groups (such as controls). In addition, the study was a one-off and was unable to explore longer-term studies exploring 'dose' of the activity e.g. longer duration of activity (min), frequency and seasonality effects. Data capture using objective measures (e.g. actual physical exertion rates using accelerometers/mobile health sensors) was unable to be carried out owing to Covid-19 restrictions on direct contact with participants.

The study was designed in a single group, where participants will be complete the interventions (green space activities) in this order: Citizen Science, Walking, Planting. However, participants may or may not show up on the day of an activity. i.e. participants may skip one or more interventions, even though that was not the intent of the study design.

Post measures of (hedonic tone) was taken using the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology (UWIST) Mood Adjective Checklist (MACL), an average measure of hedonic tone. The subscale will range from 4 to 16, with higher scores indicating higher valence. |
| Post activity (20 minutes after pre-activity measure) |

| Secondary | Mobility Limitation | Mobility Limitation was determined using accelerometers to measure participant movement throughout the activities to correlate with physical activity measures. | Upon downloading the accelerometer data, we identified technical errors in the recording process. Several accelerometers failed to capture any data, while others recorded data inconsistently, with significant gaps. Due to the incomplete and unreliable nature of the recordings, we determined that the data could NOT be used for analysis. Providing the recorded data will be highly misleading. | Posted | Throughout activity (measure taken for 20 minutes) |
